Servings: 8 pieces
Calories: 400kcal
Equipment
- 1 Blender (any type will work)
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk 2% preferred, avoid skim
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup condensed milk
- 1 cup flour
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
For the glace
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch (dissolved in 3 tbsp of water)
- 3 tbsp grated coconut (Extra coconut to sprinkle on top the cake)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF)
- In a blender, pour all the ingredients for the cake and blend for 5 - 10 minutes until you get a homogeneous batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Grease a cake mold, pour the batter and take it to the oven for 35 minutes or until the cake is done.
- In the meantime, we need to make the coconut glace. In a small pan, add the coconut milk and the sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes until it starts to thicken.
- Pour the cornstarch dissolved in water and the coconut flakes. Stir constantly until the glaze is formed. You'll know it is ready when you slide a spoon through the middle, and it takes a few seconds to return to the center.
- Take the cake out of the oven and let it chill for at least 20 minutes before unmolding. Then cover in glace and sprinkle with more coconut flake to decorate. Take the cake to the fridge for at least two hours before serving.
Notes
Try to serve within 1 hour of taking it out of the fridge, and then take it back to the fridge. This cake loves cold!
